Candidates with a high school diploma or an equivalent foreign qualification according to M.D. October 22, 2004 n.270 can be admitted to the three-year degree course in Natural Sciences.

The degree course in Natural Sciences is limited in number to 300 positions in the first year in order to guarantee the quality of the educational offer and it requires the completion of a TOLC (CISIA Online Test) as test of access.

The TOLC can be taken at the University of Milan or any other university belonging to CISIA (Interuniversity Consortium Integrated Access Systems).

The valid TOLC for enrolment in the Natural Sciences degree program is the TOLC-S, comprising the following sections: Basic mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Reasoning and problems (10 questions - 20 minutes), Text-comprehension (20 questions - 10 minutes), Basic sciences (10 questions - 20 minutes). Each question has 5 possible answers, only one of which is correct. Scores are as follows: +1 for every correct answer, -0.25 for every wrong answer, 0 for every answer not given.
